1 Kings 9:15

And this is the reason of the levy which King Solomon raised ,.... Both of men to work, 1 Kings 5:13 , and of money to defray the expense:

it was for to build the house of the Lord ; the temple:

and his own house ; or palace:

and Millo ; which he repaired: See Gill on 1 Samuel 5:9 .

and the wall of Jerusalem ; which, as Abarbinel says, was a large building, there being three walls one within another:

and Hazor ; a city in the tribe of Naphtali, and which had been a royal city with the Canaanites; see Joshua 11:1 .

and Megiddo ; which was in the tribe of Manasseh, Joshua 17:11 .

and Gezer ; which was in the tribe of Ephraim, and formerly a royal city of the Canaanites, Joshua 10:33 .
